Import Tips

Provide processing certificates confirming hydrolyzation method to distinguish from raw fish meal under other chapters

Include NPK analysis and organic certification for APHIS clearance on aquatic animal imports

Label clearly as 'plant fertilizer' to prevent reclassification as aquafeed under 2309
